Hôpital Universitaire Privé de Marrakech

Nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains on Route du Barrage, the Hôpital Universitaire Privé de Marrakech (HUPM) stands as one of Morocco’s most modern and ambitious healthcare projects. Opened in 2016 and spread over a landscaped hectare of land, the 26,000 m² facility was conceived to meet rigorous international building and safety standards while reflecting the warm hospitality for which Marrakech is renowned. Its strategic address—just ten minutes from the medina, the airport, and the city’s main hotel districts—makes the hospital easily accessible for residents, tourists, and medical evacuees alike.

More than a hospital, HUPM is the clinical hub of the Université Privée de Marrakech health-sciences campus. This academic partnership ensures that each department is fueled by a dynamic culture of teaching and research, where seasoned consultants work shoulder-to-shoulder with residents and students to push the boundaries of Moroccan medicine. Daily clinical meetings, multidisciplinary case reviews, and ongoing trials guarantee that every patient benefits from the latest evidence-based protocols.

The hospital accommodates 171 beds, including 11 fully monitored intensive-care beds, 43 postsurgical beds, and 28 dedicated to rehabilitation medicine. Ten state-of-the-art operating theatres form the core of the surgical platform; one room is permanently reserved for urgent procedures so that trauma and acute cases never face delay. Adjacent to the theatres is a sterilisation unit that follows WHO guidelines to ensure maximum patient safety.

Diagnostic capacity is anchored by a comprehensive imaging center equipped with 1.5-T MRI, 64-slice CT, digital radiography, mammography, ultrasound, Doppler, and fluoroscopy. This technological arsenal supports specialties ranging from interventional cardiology—with a catheterisation lab capable of performing angioplasty 24/7—to neurosurgery, orthopaedics and sports traumatology, and minimally invasive digestive surgery.

In 2019 HUPM became the first private institution in Marrakech to launch a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit, vastly improving national access to complex haematology care. The same forward-thinking vision led to the opening of a dedicated geriatrics ward that delivers comprehensive assessments, fall-prevention programmes, and cognitive evaluations for the elderly. For neonates and children, the hospital runs both a paediatric intensive-care unit and a neonatology service that can care for premature babies as young as 28 weeks.

Rehabilitation is delivered in a spacious SSR (Soins de Suite & Réadaptation) centre featuring robotics-assisted gait training, hydrotherapy pools, and a multidisciplinary gymnasium. Whether an elite athlete recovering from ligament reconstruction or a stroke survivor relearning activities of daily living, each patient receives an individualised rehab plan supervised by physiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists.

Patient comfort is paramount. Private and semi-private rooms offer panoramic views of the Atlas foothills, ensuite bathrooms, climate control, and complimentary Wi-Fi so families can stay connected. A multilingual concierge desk assists with accommodation, airport transfers, and insurance paperwork, while an in-house kitchen prepares balanced Moroccan and international menus tailored to medical diets.

The Emergency Department answers calls on +212 5 24 35 98 12 and operates without interruption, supported by an on-site laboratory that delivers critical results in minutes. An electronic health-record system links all departments, ensuring seamless coordination from triage to discharge. For international guests, English-speaking liaisons guide patients through every administrative and clinical step.

Ultimately, HUPM’s mission is twofold: to provide the residents of Marrakech and beyond with compassionate, world-class medical care, and to cultivate the next generation of Moroccan physicians, nurses, and allied-health professionals. Through its fusion of cutting-edge infrastructure, academic rigour, and patient-centred philosophy, the Hôpital Universitaire Privé de Marrakech has become a cornerstone of healthcare excellence in the Kingdom—and a reassuring haven for anyone in need of urgent or specialised treatment.
